If you love the rooms on HGTV, you're in luck. Now you can bring the same styles into your own house. The network has partnered with Bassett Furniture to create the HGTV Home Furniture Collection, available in Houston, exclusively at Gallery Furniture. The line includes more than 300 items designed for every room, divided into distinct collections for a range of styles: Meadowbrook Manor and Modern Heritage offer fresh takes on traditional style, and Woodlands adds a Craftsman vibe to rustic pieces. The collection hit stores last week, with two additional lines coming in spring. Gallery Furniture is at 6006 N. Freeway and 2411 Post Oak.

Veteran hairstylist Alli Webb revolutionized the standard blowout in 2010 when she opened Drybar, a $35 blowout salon in Los Angeles. Today, there are 24 Drybar salons nationwide. Now, Webb has collaborated with Houston business-woman Janet Gurwitch, a Drybar board member and the founder and former CEO of Laura Mercier Cosmetics, to launch the first Drybar product line. In keeping with the bar theme, each product has been aptly named, from the Hot Toddy Heat Protector & Frizz Fighter to the Half Pint Round Brush. "(Webb) has identified a real niche in the market, and the performance of these products is truly like nothing I've ever experienced in hairstyling products," Gurwitch said in a news release. Drybar products cost $20-35. Tools include the Morning After Shower Cap, $16, and the signature yellow Buttercup Blow Dryer, $185. All available at Sephora. Also, stay tuned for a Drybar salon in Houston soon.

Jessie Lane Jewels just in at Tootsies

New York natives Jessica Kerr and Lanie Marcus started out making the jewelry for themselves, but it turned into something much more after their pieces drew regular praise from strangers on New York streets. The women have honed their edgy bohemian style into a collection with the rich jeweled colors of India, the earthiness of Moroccan design and the timeless beauty of diamonds. The collection retails for $120-$9,000 and is available at Tootsies.
